Good morning all, just been searching online for somewhere to purchase stainless tubing online, and found this source. Very reasonably priced I think, especially the shipping cost. There are no local metal mart’s that want to sell to me at a reasonable price, so been looking online.

EDIT: To add website url to top for anyone who wants it. I have no affiliation with this company, nor have I dealt with them before, just found them on a google search.

Yea, sorry for not posting the link, but the one Jeff posted is correct. Looks like you can spend a few bucks more and get the polished to. I’ve heard stainless is a pain to cut, so I wanted to see how much having them to cut it was going to be, plus going with shorter pieces cut shipping down considerably. Which was a big part of the cost I have been seeing with online places. Just thought others might be in same position as myself and looking online for shipping options.

Thanks for this, I was hoping to find a metal supplier in the forum. I’m buying parts for my first build and haven’t read through the instructions yet, but to handle full 4’ x 8’ sheets of plywood do I need longer than 4’ tubing? Does the LR sit on the plywood or do you build a table wider than 4’? Also, what’s the recommended length for the 4 vertical tubes?

I purchased the same tubing, 2 @ 6’ and 1 @ 4’, from Metals Depot 10 days ago and it arrived yesterday with no issues. Total price was almost identical. Shipping was a bit less, probably because they are only 385 miles from me. I believe if you stay under 6’ in length, standard shipping is used. Longer and it ships freight so it’s significantly more expensive. Everywhere else I checked was a lot more expensive including local suppliers.
